irsetup error

[devdept]

One of our customers gets a message box from irsetup saying:

"Encountered an improper argument."

What shall we check?

Thanks,

Alberto

one of my costomers got one also
but hm, in APMS 8.3.0.0

One frequent cause for this error is using a session variable pointing to an empty string or an invalid destination folder. Open the installation log file and check the name of the last file which was successfully deployed. Then open the build log of your installer, and see what file would be the next in the installation - this is where there the error was most likely caused.

Indigo Rose, v9.5.2.0

These two functions:

TextFile.ReadToString / String.Find

Does not work identically on utf-8 encoded file between normal English machines and machines with Japanese system locale. (For non-unicode applications)

I have fixed so that generated required configurations into .lua script itself, then no need to test on different machines.

Lua does not support working with UTF-8 encoded files directly, but there are known workarounds. If you have code to share, please open a new dedicated thread for this matter. I do not see the reason why you post this on a over 4 years old topic which is unrelated with your message.
